While it really wasn’t on full display tonight, the Arizona Cardinals are expected to have one of the better offenses in the NFL this season, considering all of the weapons they have at their disposal. On Sunday night in their third preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals, rookie wide receiver John Brown showed why many consider him one of the newcomers to watch for this year.

Watch in the GIF below as, late in the third quarter, Brown hauls in an absolutely amazing 30-yard touchdown grab, a grab in which he lays his entire body out to make.


And that pass wasn’t even from starting quarterback Carson Palmer, rather that was a grab from the arm of backup Drew Stanton.

Still, for the past few weeks since training camp has started, everyone has been raving about what they see on the field from this third-round pick out of Pittsburg State in Kansas, and tonight we all got to see just why.

The scariest part of all is that, when he’s on the field with the likes of Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd, he’ll have a lot of chances to make plays like this throughout the season.

If there is a darkhorse candidate for Rookie of the Year, it could be this young man.
